FOREST AND STREAM. 



[March 27, 1800. 



shell. Crowding in too much powder will distort the shell and 

 prevent, the cartridge entering the chamber of the arm. We have 

 known individuals to fill the shell level with the muzzle and then 

 enter a bullet that is required to be seated nearly three-quarters 

 of an inch in the shell, and then tug and squeeze, crushing the 

 powder so as to pulverize it, and then find fault because they did 

 not get good results. The powder should be packed but never 

 crushed, and should always receive the same pressure to insure 

 regular and accura te shooting. 



The casting of hullets requires a little patience and practice. 

 The first requirements is a small iron kettle or pot for melting 

 the metal in, and a regular, steady Are to keep it at the proper 

 temperature, not red hot one minute and so cold that it will not 

 flow the next. A percentage of tin with pure lead will make the 

 metal flow better and produce a harder bullet. Ahoutone part tin 

 to forty of lead will make a gocd mixture for the average bullet. 

 If a harder bullet Is required add more tin: >*ut one part of tin to 

 sixteen of lead will be found hard enough for the hardest bullet. 

 The metal should he hot enough to flow freely; a red heat oxydizes 

 the lead rapidly, forming much dross which is objectionable. 

 Now moulds will not cast good bullets until they have been used 

 long enough to get the mould very hot. The first dozen or two 

 cast should be returned to the kettle, as it will take at least that 

 many to get the mould the right temper to do good work. In 

 pouring, the Ideal dipper will be found indsipensable. With it 

 there is no spilling of metal. The nozzle is turned round and will 

 fit the pouriug hole of any mould, and the pressure of the weight 

 of the metal in the dipper above the bulletin the mould, will 

 force out the air and fill the mould perfectly, insuring a good, 

 smooth, full-sized bullet. A kerosene or gas stove and an Ideal 

 melting pot are. the best to use, but any good even fire will answer. 

 As soon as the lead is melted and tin added, heat the dipper in 

 kettle, drop a piece of rosin, beeswax, or tallow, the size of a 

 hazelnut, into the mixture and stir rapidly with dipper. This 

 will flux the metal and cause it to flow better. If too much 

 smoke arises, drop in a lighted match and burn it off. A trifle 

 of beeswax applied to the hinge of the mould while hot will 

 keep the joint working smoothly. It is best to have moulds that 

 will cast the bullets a little above size; and after the lubrication 

 is in the grooves force the bullets through a sizing die. TbiR will 

 force the lubrication solidly into the grooves and wipe off all the 

 surplus grease, and at the same time make the bullets perfectly 

 round and uniform and all of the proper size. The Ideal reloading 

 tools having a bullet sizer and mould all complete makes them 

 superior to others. To lubricate grooved bullets properly, use a 

 shallow basin with a flat bottom, and melt the lubricating mater- 

 ial. Care should be taken not to get it too hot: dip the bullets 

 base downward far enough into the grease to cover all the grooves, 

 do this quickly so as not to heat the bullet and the grease will set 

 at once and not run. If the grooves are not level full dip them 

 over again, then force them through the die. and you will find 

 them equal to the factory made bullets. A little practice will soon 

 overcome all troubles. A good lubrication can be made as fol- 

 lows: Beeswax and common cylinder oil, three parts wax to two 

 of oil; also, beef tallow with enough vaseline mixed with it to 

 soften it as desired. These general instructions if followed by the 

 beginner will save him much time and trouble, and will place him 

 so that he can, with a little experimenting, soon arrive at the best 

 results. 



RANGE AND GALLERY. 



BOSTON, March 33.— The regular weekly shoot of the Massa- 

 chusetts Rifle Association was held to-day. The shooting con- 

 ditions were unfavorable, there being au unsteady wind from 11 

 to 1 o'clock, and a dark rainst orm making it hard to see the bulls- 

 eye. Mr. Daniels's 115 at rest is the highest score made this year 

 at this range. Following are the best scores finished to-day: dis-

HIGH GALLERY SCORES.— Every available inch of Hansen's 

 Montgomery street range, Jersey City, was occupied by marks- 

 men from the various rifle organizations hereabouts on the even- 

 ing of March 19 to witness the second shoot of the best two out of 

 three series between the invincible Our Own team, of Newark, 

 and the Excelsior, of Jersey City. The first shoot occurred iu 

 Newark last week and was won quite handily by the Our Owns. 

 The score of to-night's shoot follows:

The club is now down to very strong working order. It has its 

 own club house, and the prospects are exceedingly bright. Its 

 membership is increasing steadily, as well as speedily, and it is 

 hoped that before long— aud the prospects are very bright that it 

 will— the club will be heard from. There is some excellent talent 

 in this club, some of its members having scores to their credit of 

 240 to 246 out of a possible 250 points and there are a large number 

 of them having scores of over 230.

"'T'&f stated as the ground of the application that there had been 

 a falling oft in interest in the objects for which the club was 

 organized, and that it was deemed ill advised to endeavor to keep 

 it alive any longer. There was also the additional statement that 

 the club is free from debt. An order was signed by Judge O'Gor- 

 man for the publication of the usual notice in such cases. The 

 trustees are W. Herbert, T. J. Dolan, James Duane, H. O'Donnell, 

 J. S. Shepherd, John B. Blydenburg, L. V. Sone, M. Herrington

PERPENDICULAR RIFLE BALL.— Some time ago a corres- 

 pondent of Forest asd Stream made an inquiry of the height a 

 rifle ball would attain if shot perpendicularly in the air. It took 

 about 52 sec. from the time t he rifle was fired until the ball reached 

 the water. According to theory it takes as long for the ball to go 

 up as it does to fall, then in falling the time would be 26 sec. 

 Leaving out atmosphere, etc., the following formula may be 

 taken: S=H Of 2 , where S=space passed over; p=gravity (about 

 32), r j =square of time; then S=16X(26)*=10,S16tt., or over 3 miles 

 high. Theoretically the ball went over two miles high.— E.

THE U. S. CARTRIDGE CO.'S TOUR. 



{From Our Own Bepre.mitative.'l 



CHICAGO, 111., March 17.— The Iolanthe reached Chicago Satur- 

 day morning and was deserted early. Messrs. St ice, Tucker 

 and Cahoon left for their respective towns to try to get acquainted 

 with their families, and the hospitable Chicago sportsmen took 

 charge of others of the party. No regular plan of entertainment 

 was formulated, and thus released from all restraints, the boys 

 took a good rest, which was what they needed above all things. 

 Sunday was passed quietly at the car, which lay at the Rock 

 Island depot, having been transferred from the Union Depot. On 

 account ot the long time occupied in the transfer, many of the 

 occupants of the car and many would-be visitors lost track of the 

 car and hardly knew where to find it. It was really in a conveni- 

 ent location. There being no siding at Grand Crossing where the 

 car could be left undisturbed, it was left in the depot, and this 

 morning at 8:50 the boys went down to Grand Crossing via the 

 Lake Shore. The weather was warmer but cloudv, with a raw 

 wind. It has been very cold here for the past few days. 



By 11 o'clock a small crowd had gathered, among whom were 

 Messrs. Charlie Willard, C. S. Burton, F. H. Lord, H. A. Foss, J. 

 E. Price, P. F. Stone. W. E. Phillips and a number of others who 

 got out on the early trains. Messrs. Hart, Haywood and Maillet 

 were up from the Crown Point Club. Messrs. W. P. Mussey, W. 

 L. Shepard, M. J. Eich, Dr. Hutchinson and a lot of the other boys 

 got out during the conclusion of the target race, and swelled the 

 total crowd to somet hing over a hundred. 



At the hour agreed for the calling of the regular team race Mr. 

 Dimick had not appeared, and Whitney, of the Eastern team, was 

 also missing. After some argument it was agreed to shoot four 

 men on each team, Mr. Quimby, the Eastern substitute, being de- 

 clared by his captain too sick to shoot. Stice therefore held his 

 score, and so did Mr. Lord ("Hollister"), of the Chicago team of 

 five, who had appeared to shoot in friendly competition with the 

 tourists. The race was in the 15 hole when the abseutees appeared, 

 and the three end men of the respective teams then shot six birds 

 down instead of thirty, and thus caught up. The trapping was 

 slow to-day, and the race dragged unspeakably. It was 3 P. M. 

 when it closed, and the day had by that time become cold and 

 raw. The West again led in the singles, but fell, down in the 

 doubles, and lost the day as usual. The East is now winners of 

 the series, as not more than six or eight races more will be shot 

 in all probability. Mi 1 . John Watson, the veteran landlord of the 

 Grand Crossing grounds, refereed the race. Score, regular blue- 

 rock race: • >

There was no competition in this race, and Chicago was beaten 

 too badly to make it any fun. Chicago can get the World's Fair, 

 but she cau't shoot very much, it seems: and before the editorial 

 suggestions of Forest and Stream are carried out, advising ex- 

 hibitions at the trap during that interesting celebration, it would 

 be well for Chicago to go off somewhere alone and try to learn a 

 thing or two about how shooting is did. She may have better 

 luck next time, and I still think she can heat Kansas City, But 



there is no use shooting against a crowd that has a pet coon for a 

 mascot. Chicago, above all things, needs a good shooting park. 

 It is unpleasant to announce that the late park enterprise has had 

 cold water thrown upon it and may possibly not survive. We will 

 see in the spring. 



To-night Robert Jackson, the head porter of the Iolanthe, who 

 has more, than anybody directly contributed to the comfort of the 

 nartyduring this long trip, is sick and absent at his home in 

 Englewood, and may not be able to go East, with his car. The fact 

 is, Robert has been overworked, through his own anxiety to 

 please, and has not had four hours' sleep any day since he started. 

 The boys were not always very thoughtful about his comfort. The 

 Pullman Company has no better man iu its service than Robert, 

 who has been faithful to his employers and to those whose ma- 

 terial comfort has fallen so largely in his charge. 



To-day Whitney had a surgical operation performed on his 

 right eye, which has for three months been troubling bv reason 

 of accident that happened while Whitney was loading some 

 shells. He undertook to push the primer from an empty shell, 

 and in some way it exploded and a piece, as was supposed, Btruck 

 him just above the eye. Inflammation and discharge of pus have 

 been intermittent since then, but no part of the primer was 

 thought to be left in the wound. To-day the surgeon found the 

 whole primer in the boy's face, just above the eve, and much to 

 everybody's surprise fished it out. Whitney has done his remark- 

 ably good shooting on the long trip with that primer over his eye. 

 No wonder he was loaded all the time. 



Some of the party go on East with regret, others with pleasure, 

 at the thought of soon being home. It is probable that the close 

 of the month will see the trip ended. 



The Jenney& Graham Gun Co. of Chicago offered one dozen 

 line pocket knives to the team winning in the Chicago live bird 

 race. The set not being yet completed, these will be forwarded 

 to the boys later along the route. Each knife is of t he sort one 

 can keep house with, and it was very thought ful of Mr. Jenney to 

 have a good corkscrew in each. 



Mr. Dimick is joined at Chicago by Mrs. Dimick, who will goon 

 East to Boston with the Iolanthe. 



Toledo, O., March 1H.— The party arrived at Toledo in time for a 

 late breakfast. No organized reception was planned here, but the 

 party was well received. Many friends of the shooters were met 

 here, including Charlie Strawn, of Jacksonville, 111., and the vet- 

 eran old-time Benschoten, better known as "Ben," who is part of 

 every Ohio shoot of consequence. The writer wished to meet Mr. 

 Gunckel, of the Sunset Club, but he was unfortunately out at 

 home studying up a fish lie for the next general passenger agents' 

 meeting, so that pleasure was lost. 



Toledo is a pretty good shooting town, and a very fair crowd, 

 probably amounting to 300, was on hand this afternoon. The 

 shooting was at Speranza Park, a locality rather closely shut in 

 by houses. This park is fed by a street car line over which a bob- 

 tail one-horse hearse runs every once in a while. 



Operations began about 2 P. M. Mr. Quimby was assisted at 

 the trap3 by Mr. Damm, of the Cleveland Target. Co., who did 

 the pulling. Mr Quimby is nearly sick with severe cold, con- 

 tracted in the Milwaukee blizzard. 



The race to-day was a tie. The East led three birds iu the sin- 

 gles, but for a wonder the West gained. Had Whitney been up 

 to his usual place in the doubles the East would have won. Whit- 

 ney lost one pair in the doubles that he did not shoot at. The 

 straightaway bird swung to the left somewhat, and he concluded 

 not to accept the pair, not being positive the pair was perfect. 

 They were so, and he lost them. Score. 30 single bluerocks and 5 

 pairs:

At the close of the race a hurried run was made for the train, 

 which had been held 31) minutes in order to pull the Iolanthe un 

 to Detroit. We are on the way at thi3 writing. 



Detroit, 3Iich., March is.— It was snowing hard when the occu- 

 pants of the Iolanthe awoke, and though iater iu the day the 

 snow fall ceased, the weather remained oold and raw, with an 

 ugly wind blowing. Before breakfast was served on the car a 

 number of Detroit sportsmen were on hand, on hospitable plans 

 intent. Among these were Messrs. J. W. Garrison, J. Klein, J. R. 

 Brooks, Frank Wherry, E. Hebe], Wm. Renick and many others, 

 all of whom gave very flattering reports of the late Detroit tour- 

 nament, which seems to have been attended more largely than 

 any of recent date, and which will be duly reported in these 

 columns through the courtesy of Mr. Garrison. Alter breakfast 

 the bovs rounded up at the sporting goods headquarters. At Mr. 

 J. B. Field's emporium the- writer found in Mr. Field aud Mr. 

 Eddy two gentlemen pleasantly met last fall at Chatham field 

 trials, Ontario. Mr. John Parker, game warden for Wayne 

 county, who assists Mr. Garrison in all the big tournamentshere, 

 joins the latter gentleman in laying out a very pleasant pro- 

 gramme for Forest and Stream on a visit to the many big duck 

 clubs of Detroit and vicinity this spring, and doubtless this pro- 

 gramme will he carried out. This is a great shooting, fishing and 

 boa ting town, and to cover the field of Us sports and its sportsmen 

 in a mere half -day dab at them is simply impossible. 



The party has been admirably received here and the full pur- 

 poses of the tour seem to be fully understood here. The assem- 

 blage at the Detroit Club grounds to-day, whilfc not so large as 

 good weather would have brought out, was very satisfactory to 

 the management. 



The grounds in question lie at the foot of a steepl«h little hill, 

 aud face directly upon the green and blue Detroit River, within 

 sight of the St. Clair Straits. The traps are so set that the birds 

 fall nearly in the water, and the locality is a very pretty and 

 pleasant one. The warm little club house" was fully appreciated 

 to-day. 



The five Detroit gentlemen who shot against the Pan-American 

 veterans, Stice, McMurchy, Budd, Wolstencroft and Whitney, 

 made a very creditable race, especially in the doubles, and it is 

 no discredit they did not beat the hardened sinners above named. 

 This race added interest to the occasion, as always. 



The East won to-day by one bird. W. E. Perry fell all to 

 pieces to-day for the first time on the trip. No reason can be 

 I found for this, except that it just wasn't his day. Followers of 

 1 this tour know that in a shooting match nothing is so certain as 

 the uncertainty. W. S. Perry, who is improving nicely, beat his 

 namesake to-day and held the team to win. The West seems 

 prettv much demoralized, and couldn't win if it had twelve men 

 instead of five. The East is eight races ahead and is winner of 

 the series. 



The funny event of the day occurred on Budd's sixth bird. 

 Charlie shot at a piece and missed it, whereupon Mr. Tucker, who 

 was refereeing in Mr. Dimick's absence, called out -'Another 

 bird !" Tuck had in mind that one of the new American rules 

 which saye that in doubles both birds must be perfect ones. As 

 Mr. Tucker was one of the framers of these rules, aud is one of 

 the Advisory Board of the Association, his decision on Charlie's 

 lost piece struck the crowd as being hugely funny, and they yelled. 



Following is the score in full, each race being shot at 30 single 

 bluerocks and 5 pairs:

It will thus be seen that the tourists heat the Detroit gentlemen 

 19 birds. The flight of the birds to-dav was rather erratic, owing 

 to the gusty wind. 



1 he car left Detroit at 6:30 and until that time was thronged 

 with a Jolly crowd of Detroitere and visitors from other cities. 

 Among the latter was Mr. Held, of Saeinaw, who oame all the 

 way over to see this shoot,
